I use Ad-Aware SE, dont use full system scan all the time, just use it once a while, unless is ur first time scanning ur comp. Otherwise use smart system scan. When I use full system scan, it usually takes awhile as well, perhaps u have alot of stuff of ur C drive to scan, just wait awhile, if it doesnt finish in max 2hours, than it means something is wrong
------- The more I know, the more I am convinced I know realitivly nothing.

This is my first time using it. And also, my problem isn't that the scanning is taking long, my problem is that it's taking a long time scanning ONE FOLDER. The folder isn't even that big, either. -sighs- I'm never going to get rid of my spy/adware.
------- It doesn't mean that much to me, Sometimes I don't mean that much to you And I don't even know what I'm hiding for... And I don't even know what I'm crying for...

My ad-aware takes rediculous amounts of time scanning. Twenty minutes on that operation doesnt seem too long. Leave it scanning overnight, and if it's still doing it in the morning, then it's mucked up.
------- Incidentally this signature is available in the foyer.
